Deuteronomy 5
1 Moses [Drawn out] called to all Israel [God prevails], and said to them, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, Israel [God prevails], the statutes and the judgments which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
Mose frɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: Montie mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no yie. Monsua na monni so.
2 Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] made a covenant with us in Horeb [Desert].
Ɛberɛ a yɛwɔ Horeb no, Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn ne yɛn yɛɛ apam bi.
3 Adonai didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
Ɛnyɛ yɛn agyanom na Awurade ne wɔn yɛɛ apam tete no, na mmom, ɔne yɛn a yɛte ase ɛnnɛ yi na ɛyɛeɛ.
4 Adonai spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
Awurade ne mo kasaa animuanimu firi ogyaframa no mu.
5 (I stood between Adonai and you at that time, to show you Adonai’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
Megyinaa mo ne Awurade ntam, ɛfiri sɛ, na mosuro ogya no enti, moamforo bepɔ no. Ɔkasa kyerɛɛ me na me nso mekaa nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no kyerɛɛ mo. Nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no nie:
6 “I am Yahweh [He sustains breathing] your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage.
“Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a meyii mo firii nkoasom wɔ Misraim no.
7 “You shall have no other deities before me.
“Monnsom onyame foforɔ biara nka me ho.
8 “You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Monnyɛ ohoni anaa biribiara a ɛsɛ adeɛ a ɛwɔ ewiem, anaa deɛ ɛwɔ asase so, anaa deɛ ɛwɔ nsuo mu, anaa deɛ ɛwɔ asase ase.
9 You shall not hawa ·bow low, prostrate· yourself down to them, nor abad ·serve· them; for I, Yahweh [He sustains breathing], your God, am El Kana' [Jealous God], visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me;
Monnkoto ohoni biara nsom no ɛkwan biara so, na me, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn, meyɛ ninkunfoɔ. Na me ne onyame foforɔ bi nkyɛ mo dɔ a modɔ me no. Na sɛ nnipa bi bɔne a wayɛ enti metwe wɔn aso a, metwe wɔn aso kɔsi wɔn awontoatoasoɔ a wɔtan me no nyinaa so.
10 and showing chesed ·loving-kindness· to thousands of those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· me and keep my mitzvot ·instructions·.
Na medɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mpem a wɔdɔ me na wɔdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so.
11 “You shall not use את the name of Adonai your God worthlessly: for Adonai את will not hold him guiltless who takes את his name in vain.
Mommmɔ Awurade Onyankopɔn din basabasa. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɔbɛbu mo fɔ.
12 “Observe the Shabath ·Intermission· day, to keep it holy, as Adonai your God enjoined you.
Monkae homeda na monni no sɛ ɛda kronkron, sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.
13 You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
Nnansia na momfa nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa,
14 but the seventh day is a Shabath ·Intermission· to Adonai your God, in which you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no yɛ homeda ma Awurade Onyankopɔn. Saa ɛda no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara; ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mmammarima, mo mmabaa anaa mo asomfoɔ anaa mo anantwie ne mo afunumu anaa mo ahɔhoɔ yɛ adwuma biara.
15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and Adonai your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Adonai your God enjoined you to keep the Shabath ·Intermission· day.
Monkae sɛ berɛ bi a atwam no na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim, na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nam anwanwa tumi ne tumi nnwuma so na ɔyii mo firii hɔ. Ɛno enti na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn hyɛ mo sɛ monni homeda no.
16 “Honor your father and your mother, as Adonai your God enjoined you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Adonai your God gives you.
Di wʼagya ne wo maame ni sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hyɛ mo no. Na ɛbɛma wo nkwa nna aware wɔ asase a Awurade wo Onyankopɔn de bɛma wo no so.
17 “You shall not murder.
Nni awu.
18 “You shall not commit adultery.
Nsɛe awadeɛ.
19 “You shall not steal.
Mmɔ korɔno
20 “You shall not give false witness against your neighbor.
Nni wo yɔnko ho adansekurumu
21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your wrote neighbor’s.”
Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko yere. Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko fie anaa nʼasase anaa nʼakoa anaa nʼafenawa, ne nʼanantwie, nʼafunumu anaa biribiara a ɛyɛ wo yɔnko dea.”
22 Adonai spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
Awurade de nne kɛseɛ a ɛfiri ogyaframa no mu ka kyerɛɛ mo firii omununkum a esum kabii atwa ho ahyia mu. Nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ ara ni na ɔtwerɛɛ ne nsɛm no guu aboɔ ɛpono mmienu so na ɔde maa me.
23 When you sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Motee nne no firii esum mu ɛberɛ a bepɔ no ogya redɛre framfram no, mmusuakuo mu ntuanofoɔ no nyinaa baa me nkyɛn.
24 and you said, “Behold, Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] has shown us his kavod ·weighty glory· and his greatness, and we have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, akyerɛ yɛn nʼanimuonyam ne ne tumi na yɛate ne nne afiri ogya mu. Ɛnnɛ, yɛahunu sɛ, sɛ Onyankopɔn ne onipa kasa koraa a, onipa tumi tena ase.
25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we sh'ma ·hear obey· Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]’s voice any more, then we shall die.
Na afei, adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛwuwu? Sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, kasa kyerɛ yɛn bio a, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ yɛbɛwuwu na ogya no ahye yɛn pasaa.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of the Elohim Chayim [Living God] speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Enti, ɔkra teasefoɔ bɛtumi ate Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no nne afiri ogyaframa no mu na watena ase anaa?
27 Go near, and sh'ma ·hear obey· all that Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] shall say, and tell us all that Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] tells you; and we will sh'ma ·hear obey· it, and do it.”
Wo, kɔ na kɔtie deɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn no ka. Na afei, bra na bɛka biribiara a ɔka kyerɛɛ wo no kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛtie na yɛadi so.”
28 Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Adonai said to me, “I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
Awurade tee mo nne ɛberɛ a mokasa kyerɛɛ me no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Mate nsɛm a nnipa ka kyerɛɛ wo no. Nsɛm a wɔkaaeɛ no nyinaa yɛ.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my mitzvot ·instructions· always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!
Ao, sɛ daa wɔbɛnya akoma sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔasuro me na wɔadi mʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so a, anka ɛbɛyɛ ama wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ nyinaa afebɔɔ.
30 “Go tell them, ‘Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your tents.’
“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnsane mmra wɔn ntomadan mu.
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the mitzvot ·instructions·, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.”
Nanso, wo deɛ, wo ne me ntena ha sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mɛtumi de me nhyɛ ne me mmara ama wo. Wobɛkyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtie wɔ asase a mede rema wɔn no so sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.”
32 You shall observe to do therefore as Adonai your God has enjoined you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Enti, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Monyɛ ɔsetie mma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ nyinaa, na monni ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
33 You shall walk in all the way which Adonai your God has enjoined you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
Akwan a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo sɛ monnante so no so, monnante so. Na moatena ase nna tenten na asi mo yie wɔ asase a morebɛkɔ akɔtena so no so.”
